Solo

In all the days distant or near
you my love
always close, always near
my heart
yours faithfully beating next to mine,

It seems strange to feel
alone, though
we have been apart so often
with work
or self obsessions, trivial digression, but
now on this
new adventure…

You are doing
what you dreamt of, worked for
and I am here
on this aircraft, so high above
the earth
we are going solo, to relearn
why we must
never part.
